The air is crisp, the snow is falling, rows and rows of yellow and brown snowmen slump agonizingly in front yards. Yup, it’s official, NBA opening day in December makes everything else seem less awesome. Can you sense it? … No? Scoot about three feet to your left. How ’bout now? There you go.

The Razzball Commenter Leagues are quickly taking shape. We’ve got three leagues filled and a short waiting list for a fourth league. Before we can open the fourth, we need:

a) A league organizer.
b) A head-count or a show of hands or a show of heads to figure out how many people (not signed on for one of the leagues) are interested in the new branch of the RCLs.

I’ve gotten numerous requests from late-comers to begin another league (hesitantly called Cassell’s Big Ball Dance League). So if you still want to join up, let me know down in the comments. If you wouldn’t mind being the organizer for the new league, let me know that too.

I have a keeper conundrum. I can keep 8 players from my roster from last year and need help choosing the last one. I play in an 11-team, 10 category roto league (Pts, assts, a/to ratio, rebs, orebs, ft%, fg%, blocks, steals, and 3pm. Here are the first 7 I’m keeping:

D. Wade
D. Rose
T. Evans
C. Anthony
A. Horford
J. Smith
D. Lee

I’m down to choosing between K. Lowry or S. Ibaka. Any recommendations?

@The Curse of the Goat: Go with Lowry. He out-earns Ibaka in six of the 10 categories and Ibaka doesn’t grab enough rebounds or shoot enough shots (FG%) for those categories to match the weight of his blocks.

@El Burro: Looks like we have a new league opening soon. Perhaps you’ll be available to draft in that one. Details to come …
